In this episode of CBS’ The Young and the Restless, Phyllis goes missing, Ashley agrees to consider Tucker’s new proposal which isn’t real, and Chance shows up at the gala to find out what happened between Diane and Phyllis.
In the previous episode, Phyllis collapsed and Stark announced that they were married.
(The Canadian Y&R day ahead recap for March 30, 2023 episode airs in the USA March 31. Recaps live by 4:15 PM EST daily.)
Stark whips out a marriage license dated three days ago. Michael says it’s legit. Jack calls it insane and Jeremy says she married him because the people of Genoa City pushed her to a new low — to find one another.
Jack thinks it’s sad he took advantage of her but Jeremy blames them all.
Kyle warns Stark not to point his finger at his mother.
In the other room, Lily comforts Amanda who is upset over Phyllis.
It’s enough she’s had health issues with her mother and now this.
She cries, hating the wait to find out what happened and asks Lily to be careful in trusting her brother because of his recent history.
Lily reminds her that Devon’s her brother but Amanda can’t ignore how what he’s done to them both affect his trustworthiness.
Lily stands her ground. Devon’s loyal to family.
At home, Ashley laughs her head off at Tucker’s proposal. He thinks it’s the next step.
It doesn’t have to be fancy.
They could elope. She says no and calls him temporarily insane after hearing her brother’s proposal to Diane.
Tucker won’t take no for an answer and reminds her he hasn’t yet.
He lists off things he’s done for her. He gave her a gift, went on a date with her, and gave her intel on Stark and Diane.
Ashley jokes that it was very romantic. He reminds her he offered to set her up with her own company which was an aphrodisiac for her.
He gave his company up for her. She laughs. She bought his debt.
Tucker says they can make it a ploy. Announce their engagement publically. Ashley can see he just wants to stick it to her brother.
Tucker asks if her brother hides the good scotch when he’s around.
Ashley says he had no way of knowing Tucker would be there and admits it’d be gratifying to see Diane’s face at them lying about an engagement.
He still needs to get Devon to buy McCall.
She urges him to hurry it up already. He’s working on it. She lures him in with a future, even a pretend one.
He knows she’s enjoying this power over him and he also knows she sees their chemistry and that they share something deeper.
He accuses her of being scared to admit it. Ashley shrugs and says he can think what he wants. Before he leaves, he tries to kiss her. She backs away. “What are you doing?”
He wanted a traditional goodbye since this was a traditional date.
They make a few attempts to kiss each other that don’t quite work out and finally, share a kiss.
She says goodnight and when she leaves, he watches her from the window, momentarily with a smile on his face.
Devon arrives home to Abby who has checked on Dominic who is asleep. She asks how things went with Amanda.
She tells him that Nina let her have it.
Devon says everything got out of control after she left.
He tells her about Jack and Diane’s engagement announcement and Phyllis’ collapse.
They discuss whether it happened before the engagement announcement or not but Devon’s not sure.
They discuss him dropping the suit.
Abby asks if this is really what he wants. He’s not sure but something shifted and he thinks it’s because of her.
Their shared connection to their dad brought them together but Abby made him remember how important family was.
He’ll never forget what she did for him tonight. They kiss and snuggle on the sofa when he asks her to consider moving in with him.
